Shifting; Forward (Tiller Handle And Trol Models) - PowerTec 40Hp Owner's Manual

2.Check for a steady flow of water from the
cooling water pilot hole.
Immediately after the engine starts, re-
lease the main switch and allow it to re-
turn to " " (on).
CAUTION
A continuous flow of water from the cool-
ing water pilot hole shows that the water
pump is pumping water through the cool-
ing passages. If water is not flowing out
of the hole at all times while the engine is
running, overheating and serious dam-
age could occur. Stop the engine and
check whether the cooling water inlet on
the lower case or the cooling water pilot
hole is blocked. Consult your PowertecOutBoard
dealer if the problem cannot be located
and corrected.
WARNING
Before shifting, make sure there are no
swimmers or obstacles in the water near
you.
CAUTION
To change the boat direction or shifting
position from forward to reverse or vice-
versa, first close the throttle so that the
engine idles (or runs at low speeds).
